A big question that needs to be answered is should porn be banned? There are several people who are in support of the banning of porn sites, but there are several more who are against the idea of banning porn sites. But there are a bunch of questions that need to be answered to reach a proper conclusion of this one-line question. There are lots of arguments and a whole lot of soul searching behind this simple question. So, let’s look in-depth into this matter.
Should Governments Be Allowed to Ban Porn?
The simple answer to the above question is NO. This is simply because the government should not get the authority to what we are watching, thinking, or even reading. Living in the 21st century, and as a citizen of a democratic country, it is the right of the people to decide what they wish to do. The government should have no right to take decisions on such matters and nor they have the right to punish people just because of these things.
Is Porn Good Thing to Watch?
But, along with this truth, it is also important to know that porn is not a very good thing to watch. It usually affects the minds of the people and shapes their theories as well as attitude towards sex as well as women which is unhealthy and unrealistic. There are several thousand porn sites that are available on the internet. Nowadays with the increase in the demand for porn videos, free HD porn is also available. Needless to say, porn videos often project women’s bodies as a product. This might affect the mindset of young people watching porn. It has become a pure taboo with the young people watching and later on discussing porn.
Can Watch Porn Harm Society?
Yes, watching porn and taking in the content of the pornography movies seriously, can turn people into sodomites, sex offenders, or even rapists. But, it is true that even before advent pornography; rapists were present in society. It is rightly said that porn helps some people to lay off the steam. We can say that porn is a kind of chemical sugar. The chemical combinations inside our body are made to like the content that is being shown and the effect produced inside our body is rare and is generated by particular contents. But, also taking too much of the content, will produce an overdose and thus will make us sick. Usually, it is advised to avoid falling sick, thus, people are against the whole notion of watching porn.
If porn is considered purely as a source of entertainment and to bring out the chemical combinations that are missing in your life through virtual means, then there is no harm at all. Porn can be considered as anti-depressants in the life of “singles”. But, also there must be certain rules and regulations that need to be followed in order to not exploit the actors or the actresses. Also, there must not be any video that encourages or produces adulterous or violence. Also, living in a world where gender equality is talked about in every house, it is high time that porn videos stop projecting women as objects.
